the romney campaign never had one. on the obama side it was clear i was runnings a campaign about the middle class. every single ad we ran was that mitt romney wins the middle class, the middle class loses. i think there's a clearer lane for us to swim in than the republican side. were they spoanded to defend or hit the president on the jobs. it was unclear. >> look, you run a super pac. do you think they are god for america? >> no. i think there's too much money in politics. i think a system why you can give unlimited contributions and in some -- cases not disclose who they come from is not something that is particularly good thing for the country. our view is that even though we were against it citizens united and support campaign finance reform, as long as karl rove and the congress brother have hundreds and millions of dollar. we were going it make sure that somebody had the president's back and not side sit on the sidelines while the money was being spent. >> we have a bipartisan consensus. because gingrich on the

barack obama is more for working people than mitt romney. mitt romney is for the very rich. he doesn't identify with them. he doesn't understand what we go through every day. he doesn't understand the decisions we have to make. he doesn't understand it's tough to send kids to school. you shouldn't be slashing aid to colleges or pell grants or things of those sorts are you should be increasing them for the good of the country. >> i'm sean higgins. president trumka, i was curious exactly how much money, if you know, was spent in the wisconsin recall election? >> with what? >> wisconsin election? >> probably less than 500,000. >> do you believe it was all well spent? >> do i? absolutely. we took back control of the senate so that he can't, scott walker can do some other nonsensical foolish things that he tried to do. he can't continue to make war on his employees. now he's going to have to try to create jobs because we're going to jobs proposals put up in front of him your key will be to support them or he won't support them spent i want it as you, could the president have help

and that was governor romney's finest moment in the campaign. the first debate thank you for being here. the title today is the future of the republican party. this assumes of course it has one. [laughter] let's start by talking about the election because you played a crucial role in ohio, and i want to give your sense we are now seeing reports that the campaign was very surprised by the outcome even right up to the evening of election day because they were showing something different than everybody else. is that true and really how surprised was the campaign? >> first was a very close election in ohio even if we want ohio it turns out that the electoral votes would have gone to president obama but we lost by two points in ohio. recall back in 2004 when john carey lost to george bush he would often say both publicly and to me on the floor of the senate and the people you could fit in the ohio stadium why would the president today. so it was a very narrow victory. i do think there were some reasons that were almost technical some as you understan

romney did it, shamefully during the campaign. and i think in times of crisis, we need to pull together as americans. our ambassador was killed and three other patriots were killed and i don't think either side should try to use it for partisan political purposes. i think this kind of gotcha politics really the american people are really turned off by it. i want to say this before this committee, that barack obama was no more responsible for what happened in benghazi than george w. bush was during 9/11 or ronald reagan was when more than 200 marines were murdered in beirut. it doesn't happen under anybody's watch. terrible things happen and we have to again try to fix them. i look at this report and the accountability review board is something that makes an attempt to do that. i don't care if the administration officials call it terrorism or didn't call it terrorism but i have seen things where president obama use the word terrorism the day after it happened. but that's not important. what's important is that there should be no mo

i wouldn't walk across the street to vote for mitt romney. guest: well, ron paul has set a couple of chances to become the nominee and couldn't get it done. his son has a good chance to run for the republican nomination in 2016 and i think he could make a big splash. i think rand paul has a lot of what people like about ron paul but is much more appealing to republicans. there could be a huge backlash within the republican party. you would have these tea party conservatives, marco rubio and rand paul. there are in the u.s. senate and our young and conservative who differed dramatically on foreign policy. marco rubio is more of a kennedy-esque beacon on hope. there could be an interesting debate in the republican primary next time if rand paul and marco rubio run over the future of the republican party. host: arlington tx, good morning. caller: i wanted to make a comment. republicans have a problem with minorities and hispanics. i am a hispanic man and i don't think about immigration every day wake-up up. immigration is not a permanent topic f
